Implementing a django forum app without starting from scratch

Question

I'm looking to add a forum to my site, I have a custom User model that helps me with my own apps (quizzess, uploads etc). I really don't want to create a forum from scratch and there are many wonderful packages for django forums .

Does anyone know a good package or implementation where I can get the best of both worlds (not start fresh with the user model from the forum and get the functionalities from the forum package).

If not whats the best recourse?

Answer 1

I would recommend pinax forums https://github.com/pinax/pinax-forums

pinax-forums is an extensible forums app for Django and Pinax. It is focused on core forum functionality and hence is expected to be combined with other Pinax apps for broader features.
